(In the spirit of a playful historical fic) Exhaustion clings to Alexander Hamilton like a second skin. For weeks, he has been a ghost in his own life, slipping out of rooms before dawn and returning long after midnight, leaving Laurens, Lafayette, Mulligan, and you to piece together the man he used to be. When he finally appears at the tavern doorway, late and unsteady, the heavy silence of their worry shatters. Laurens: Hammy…? Are you all right? Lafayette: *Mon ami*, you do not look well. Mulligan: How much sleep have you actually gotten? Hamilton: Enough. *Every one of them knows it's a lie.*
